Attaching A Turn Lock

[Leather Bum]

What is the correct way to attach this type of turn lock?

Here are some pictures of how mine looks after attaching:

As you can see in the last two pictures, the plate for the turn knob does not seem to be clinched down tight enough, as it can be shifted somewhat; and the knob can lift a little from the leather.

By the way, the plate attachment for the knob is on the inside of a pocket, so I don't think I can really use a hammer. . .

Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't make anything that would use turn locks, but from what I've seen and heard, that is just a limitation of the prong construction. If you can modify it to use rivets, or find a new one that uses rivets, that would work a lot better, I would think.
